Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Jan. 5, 1909.

Application filed January 31, 1907. I Serial No. 355,128.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, SIMON GoLDNER and STELLA GOLDNER, citizens of theUnited States, residing at New York, in the county of New York and Stateof New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Hair- Curlers,of which the following is a specification.

Our invention relates to improvements in curling irons.

The primary object of the invention is the provision of a curling ironwhich upon being removed from the hair leaves a hair curler in positionto be tied about the hair curled upon the mandrel of the iron.

A further object of the invention is the provision of a curling iron,which is simple, durable and efficient, and which may be manufacturedand sold at a comparatively low cost.

With the above and other objects in view the invention consists in theconstruction, combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter fullydescribed and clalmed, and illustrated in the accompanying drawing,wherein Figure 1 is a perspective view illustrating our improved curlingiron in use. Fig. 2 is a view in side elevation of the curling iron, andFig. 3 is a sectional view taken on a plane extending transverselythrough the mandrel of the iron.

Referring to the drawing by reference numerals, 5 designates themandrel, 7 the handle and 6 the hair curler of our improved curlingiron. r

The handle 7 may be constructed of wood or any material suitable for thepurpose and is secured in any suitable manner to one end of the mandrel5. The mandrel 5 is provided with a hair curler receiving roove whichextends throughout the entire ength curler 6 is adapted to be'receivedby the groove of the mandrel 5, and when in applied position one endthereof projects beyond the outer end of the mandrel. Owing to thepeculiar transverse formation of the groove, the hair curler iscompressed" on being inserted therein, the tendency of the hair curlerto expand causing it to frictionally engage the side Walls of thegroove, such frictional engagement preventing the accidentaldisplacement of the hair curler.

In practice the mandrel is heated, and then I the hair curler is placedin the groove thereof. The curling of the hair about the mandrel of theiron places the hair curler within the curled hair; after the hair hasbeen curled the mandrel is withdrawn. The hair curler is prevented frombeing withdrawn from the curl during the withdrawal of the mandrel bythe operators holding the curler by that end thereof which rejectsbeyond the outer end of the man rel. After the withdrawal of the mandrelthe ends of the hair curler are united to secure the hair in curledform.

It should be apparent from the above description, taken in connectionwith the accompanying drawing, that we provide a curling iron by meansof which a hair curler is left in position to be secured about thecurled hair upon withdrawal of the curling iron.

Having thus described the, invention what .1s clalmed as new, 1s:

A curling iron comprising a handle, a mandrel provided with a grooveelpeni'ng out through the-outer end thereof an decreasing in transverseextent inwardly, and a hair curler located in the groove, the haircurler being compressed on insertion into the groove, the tendency ofthe hair curler to expand causing it to frictionally engage the sidewalls of the groove, such frictional engagement preventing theaccidental dis placement of the hair curler.

In testimony-whereof, we affix our signatures in presence of twowitnesses.
